Reef Flow Question In Frag Tank....

[Djtonton]

So I have a Deep Blue 60 Gal Rimless Frag tank right now for flow in the tank i am using a WP-40 and a WP-25 and a rio pump. the wp-25 is on the side of the return pump (left side) and the wp-40 is blowing back towards the drain and return (right side). I also have a RIO pump i believe it is sitting on the bottom pushing water underneath these frag racks i made (the pump sits on the left side pushing water to the right)

​

Well i recently purchased some DragonFace Pipefish because its something i always wanted (now i want 2 for my display!). I have currently turned off the flow from the RIO because the pipefish like to float around down there. I figured i would leave it off for a few days till they are acclimated and than possibly turn it on if i had to.

I guess my question becomes is the WP-40 and WP-25 + the return i believe a ocean runner 2500? cant recall be enough flow for just LPS, ZOAS, ACANS, Chalices?

My goal in the near future would be to get a Gyre 130 for this tank and maybe keep a WP in there but i need to sell some frags first lol.

Let me know what you think I would imagine i could turn the RIO back on and the pipefish would be fine but if i dont have to I wont.

I do also have the ability to trade my WP-25 for another WP-40 but i kind of feel that may be too much flow?

I guess I'm confused by what your wanting to do. Are you wanting to keep pipefish in your frag tank permenantly or switch them over to your display?

I would like to keep pipe fish in frag tank i just want to make sure those power heads will provide enough flow for lps.
